Carol, my point is the Toronto Entomologist's Association
WOULD NOT OBJECT to any member or officer driving
a big SUV or Van, even though such vehicles are essentially
recreational killing machines.  They kill not for just
in one evening, but for thousands of days of use.

Ditto in regard to any member or officer who owns a
big butterfly and moth habitat consuming home on a
big lot.  Again the TEA would not object even though
the killing (via lep habitat loss) is recreational in nature
would be continual for the life of the home (likely 
100+ years).

Ditto in regard to any member or officer who is overweight.
Again the TEA would not object even though the killing 
(via lep habitat lost due to the extra acreage devoted to 
growing more food and farm animals) is once again 
recreational in nature would be continual for decades.
